Hello!
I have run Mathematica 4 on a program that I had tested with
Mathematica 3, and I noticed funny outputs. I traced the
problem to the function Rationalize[], which seems
to be different in the two version.
With the following input
In: Rationalize[0.6000000000000001`]
Mathematica 3 gives
Out: 3/5
while Mathematica 4 gives
Out: 1351079888093186/2251799813488643
Is this change in behaviour intentional?
To get the same result as before from my program
I had to write Rationalize[x, .001] instead of
Rationalize[x].
